Setting up push notifications

The Khoros Community Android SDK supports Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for push notifications.

This guide assumes:

• You already have a Firebase project for your native Android application
• You have connected the Firebase Console to Play Store Console
• You have contacted Khoros via askonboarding@lithium.com to request enabling push notifications in your community configuration
• You have created an Android API App in Community Admin (See Getting Started)

This guide includes the following:

• Requesting push notification configuration
• Linking Firebase to Khoros Community

Requesting push notification configuration

To enable push notifications on your community, Khoros executes certain configuration tasks. Before continuing with this guide please send an email to asdkonboarding@lithium.com to enable push notification. This is a one-time step.

Linking Firebase to Khoros Community

See the Firebase documentation for instructions on how to create the bridge between Firebase and your Community application so that Firebase directs notifications from Community to your native app. You'll need to generate a server key in Firebase, and add that server key to Community Admin. You must also register your native app with Community.
